The mass killing in Kansas happened at the Excel Industries plant in Heston. The plant is a “gun free zone”. From the washingtontimes.com:
Excel Industries is apparently a gun-free zone.
“We got signs saying ‘no guns,’ but this guy’s got an AK and began spraying,” Mr. Pierce said.
From pictures posted on Facebook, it appears that the shooter had access to a Glock pistol and an AK clone of some kind. Because the shooter had an extensive criminal record, the guns were almost certainly possessed illegally. It says something about the enforcement of illegal possession laws that the shooter, a convicted felon, barred from the possession of firearms, was able to post pictures of himself in illegal possession on social media, without anything being done.

Psycho killers appreciate those signs immensely.
AK’s don’t fire .223 rounds, btw.
Many AK’s have been chambered for 5.56. The Finnish version Valmet was one often seen in 5.56.

As far as not being armed in a Gun-Free Zone is a victim, waiting for a shooting to happen.
Actually, many AK’s are chambered in the 5.56 round. The Finnish Valmet M76, for example.

Excel Industries? Yup, the gall of that guy bringing a gun into a “Gun Free Zone”! I guess he didn’t have to worry about anyone shooting back at him.
